New Delhi: india defender Anwar Ali has appealed to the All india Football Federation (AIFF) to quickly resolve the long-running transfer dispute surrounding his move from Mohun Bagan to East Bengal.

The transfer saga has dragged on for weeks, with both clubs presenting conflicting claims over the player’s contractual status.
- Mohun Bagan insists the player remains under contract.
- East bengal claims the signing was made following all required procedures.

Anwar ali has now personally stepped in, urging the national governing body to offer a clear and speedy decision, stressing that:
- His professional career is being impacted
- The delay is causing mental and operational pressure

- Ali’s eligibility for east Bengal
- Squad composition for Mohun Bagan
